This recipe is shared from Savonnah Henderson, who, most of you know, works at Wenaha Gallery in Dayton. But most may not know what a gourmet baker she is. She posted this picture on Facebook, so I contacted her. I haven't made it yet but it's on my list. A thought-if you don't make bread, then maybe share with someone who does and hopefully they will share back. A quick note: if you know someone who is struggling for any reason, but don't know how to reach out or what to say, take them food,...
Ten Years Ago-October 30, 2008 Waitsburg Commercial Club opted to purchase lighted garland from a local business after hearing a proposal from a Tri-Cities company regarding Christmas decorations for downtown business. At a board meeting Oct 23, the Senske bid was considered and it exceeded C-Club's budget. The Board opted to buy about $1800 worth of lights and garlands from Waitsburg Hardware & Mercantile. Waitsburg native Beth Abbey finished the Nike Women's San Francisco Marathon first in...
I saw this recipe come through my email and thought of the times I had made Tater Tot Casserole when I had a young family. It was always a favorite. So I thought I'd make this one, since I haven't done dinners lately, and sometimes we just need ideas for dinner. Well, I'll share the recipe but I think the original one would be better. This one has the soup mixture on top, which does not allow the tater tots to get crispy, which, in my opinion is what tater tots should be. It makes them more like...
Ten Years Ago-October 23, 2008 The 50 string Salt & Light Music Ministry comprised of young people from Waitsburg, Dayton and the surrounding area, will be giving a concert in Dayton Sunday. The group which rehearses inspirational music and tours in June with its inspirational message will present its musical offerings at 6pm, Sunday, Oct 26, at the Harvest Christian Center in Dayton. Walla Walla Sasayama Sister City Committee has returned from Sasyama Hyogo Prefecture Japan after an 11-day...
My first thought was to look up the mock apple pie made from zucchini. When I picked up a few zucchinis from an acquaintance, she asked me if I had ever tried it. I told her I had not, and she said you couldn't tell the difference. So I googled it thinking that would be the recipe for the week, but found this one instead. I found the history interesting and thought it would bring up conversation and memories of those who used to make it. I mentioned it to a friend at church who said it's very go...
City official Jake Adams works to update Waitsburg's Main St. fire hydrants. Following last month's fire, fire fighters had trouble stemming the flow due to gravel in the line. The gravel was thought to have been leftover from a previous fire. The excavation pictured has since been paved over....
Ten Years Ago-October 16, 2008 The biggest who of the year (in actual numbers)----High School MASS Band and Chorus-is coming to the Waitsburg High School gym on Wednesday, October 22. Around 300 high school band and choral students from al over the area will descend on WHS Wednesday afternoon. They have been preparing certain pieces of music at their home schools from Touchet to Rosalia for the last month. On Wednesday they will all rehearse together for the first in time with expert...
I made this on a weekend, when I have more time to fuss with breakfast. This goes together quickly, and I found not as heavy as regular pancakes, which I really like. I found it surprising that the apples are put in the bottom, but when baked, they come out on the top. It's very flavorful and a keeper. INGREDIENTS: 6 eggs ½ tsp salt 1 ½ c. milk ¼ tsp cinnamon 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 Tbsp butter 1 c. all purpose flour 2 apples-peeled, cored, and sliced 3 Tbsp sugar 3 Tbsp...
Ten Years Ago-October 9. 2008 Photo caption: Something strange-Halloween-like-is going on at Bill Fisher's place at 416 Willard. Fisher and his daughter, Nikki, have a "papple" tree growing. It's a special kind of tree that grows both apples and pumpkins, as well, is just one of those "Waitsburg. One of a Kind" kind of things. The second annual "Holy Bucket Retreat" is scheduled for Saturday, Oct 25 at the First Presbyterian Church of Waitsburg. People from all over the valley are welcomed,...
I thought I'd give you a break from all the sweet recipes, although I made Greek Yogurt Chocolate Zucchini Bread this weekend and it was great. Made with coconut oil, honey, and not much brown sugar. Very chocolatey and not too sweet. I'm going to try to switch to apple and pumpkin recipes so if you think you would like this recipe, let me know. I have this turkey meatloaf mixed and ready for the oven-see report. INGREDIENTS: 2 c. coarsely chopped zucchini 1 egg 1 ½ c. coarsely chopped...
Ten Years Ago-October 2, 2008 Tomfoolery by Tom Baker: News of the week that kept the talking heads on TV buzzing was the possible melt-down of the economy. With the stock market taking a couple of "down" days in the 500-point range, and a 777-point plunge on the day that Congress was meeting to solve the problems of the economy, it had some of the historians comparing it to the 1929 market crash. You will find about as many folks willing to discuss the roots of the "adjustment" as there are com...
I received this recipe from Heather Hiebert, one of the now-retired owners of the well-known Patit Creek Restaurant. In conversation she mentioned she had this great zucchini bread recipe. I asked her to please share it with us. This recipe calls for cake flour. I don't usually buy it unless I know I am going to use all of it. I have shared the substitution and have used it as well with success. Here it is again: Take one cup of all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled. Remove two tablespoons,...
Ten Years Ago-September 25, 2008 Pending finalization of a contract and the inclusion of the former Preston-Shaffer Milling Co. structure on the City's insurance policy, emergency roof repair work was approved unanimously by the Waitsburg City Council last week. Funding would come from a $30,000 grant made to the Wait's Mill Project through the Blue Mountain Resource and Conservation District (RC&D) by the Kinsman Foundation of Milwaukee, Ore. Of the funds granted, $27000 is available to the...
You know what a Whoopie Pie is, don't you? I thought everyone knew, but I thought everyone knew what a Pecan Sandie was also. I was wrong. Here is what the web said: "The whoopie pie is a U.S. baked product that may be considered either a cookie, pie or cake. It is made of two round mound-shaped pieces of chocolate cake, or sometimes pumpkin or gingerbread cake, with a sweet, creamy filling or frosting sandwiched between them" I received a recipe in my email, using Red Velvet cake mix, with the filling being marshmallow crème. There was a...
Original recipe from The Times and Bette Chase The thought of apple butter warms my heart. I always try to buy it homemade, usually at bake sales or yard sales, which I did for my last jar AND it was from Anita Baker's or her friend's yard sale. Then I asked her for the recipe. Seriously, I had no idea of how it was made, or cared, as long as I was able to resource it. This is a quote from CrazyforCrust.com: "Apple butter is a highly concentrated form of applesauce; it's cooked slow and long so...
I found this recipe in the Costco Connection and I liked that it used apple and cucumber. Remember the chicken poppy seed salad? It seems several chicken recipes have nuts and fruit. That one had pecans and grapes. I didn't make this one yet but will later. For me, this will be used as a salad. A few notes on cashews: Cashews are packed with antioxidants, vitamins E. K. and B6, and minerals such as copper, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium and iron. Many of these can be hard to find in other foods....
Ten Years Ago-September 4, 2008 Progress on the “Paint the Town” Project has built some momentum with pledges of paint, discounts and cash. Project volunteers met with building owners to make color decisions this week, so painting can begin in earnest this weekend. Buildings that are planned for painting this weekend are the EZ Way, Farmers Café’, and the Weller Library. Prep work will be done on the Whoopem Up Hollow Café, jimgermanbar, AMO Art and the Cenex Station over the next week so they will be ready for painting the following weekend...
I had asked for zucchini recipes a few weeks ago. When I got to work last week, this, along with another one was typed on a sheet of paper and dropped through the mail slot. Sherri Erikson had her number on the bottom of the page, so I gave her a call to ask a few questions. She also gave me a recipe for Cheesy Green Chile Zucchini Soup that she said is great. Now that it is cooling off a bit, I think I will try it next. I do need some zucchini, though, hint hint. ***See below my review of last...

This almost seems like not really a recipe as, in my opinion, pasta salads are a catchall. But I thought this might give someone an idea on what to fix and use some of the fresh vegetables of the season. I will make this next week for our church potluck luncheon, though the dressing I might tweak a bit. INGREDIENTS 8 oz pasta 1 tsp dried basil 4 Tbsp olive oil salt to taste 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar ground black pepper to taste ½ c. whole corn kernels, cooked 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese 4 tomatoes, chopped 2 tsps chopped fresh basil...

Exhibits of Huntsville mementoes and artifacts will be open to the p...
These are easy-peasy and quick to make. The story behind it is maybe longer. I was having a LuLaRoe party Sunday and was looking for some desserts to make. I found one that was similar to this but had a peanut butter cream cheese filling with a chocolate top. So I went to the store and got the chocolate chips and cream cheese. Then couldn't find the recipe again. I didn't save it. Googled the ingredients. Nothing looked like the one I found so decided to do this one. Now I have two packages of...
As a bread maker, I've never given much thought to what types of wheat make what kind of flour. My use of baking flour consists of going to the store and getting all-purpose flour and occasionally, venturing out to whole wheat flour. My knowledge of wheat was simply watching the hills go from green to gold. Until last year, I did not know how the wheat got into the grain elevators, visualizing some huge vacuum that took it from the truck to those large cylinders. The business side of me...
Last year, when I talked to ladies about harvest and cooking, I missed Barbara Cockburn Danforth, as she was not available. Her daughter, Susie Payne, shared that her mom was brought up in the days of mules pulling the harvest equipment, so I was looking forward to hearing about those times. As one who didn't live through those times, I'm always impressed at how much work they did and how little they complained. Barbara told me her folks (Jack and Ada Cockburn) moved to Waitsburg in 1928, and...
